A "Second Look" at the Parthenon and Prayer
- Draw Close: this is really about secret prayer.
- The secret to a powerful spiritual life is secret prayer.
- Secret prayer is rewarded by a response from God.
- Secret prayer is direct.
- Secret prayer follows a specific pattern.
- Draw Close: this is even more about enjoying God.
Opening "Encounters" in This Prayer
- God as Father
- This is the first time the disciples heard that intimate term.
- God as "in the heavens"
- God as my first concern
Matt 6:5-9
